That has been built as a Td5 Defender 90, on a brand new Td5 galvanised chassis. I doubt if there are any Ninety parts on it except the numbers and the registration document.

Which from your point of view makes life easy, you can treat it as a Td5 Defender 90 and ignore the rest.

Anybody driving a land rover needs to use public transport, taxis, or hire a car at times. Don't worry about it.

Your vehicle does have an OBD socket, but you will need the diagnostic kit that actually works with it, not all do.
The vehicle also looks pretty clean, which will also make your life easier.
Go through it, and read and record the numbers on the engine and major assemblies.
That way, you can look up exactly which Td5 you have, and it will be easier for parts ordering etc, in future.

Foxwell do a very good diagnostic which is cheaper than the other two main ones but works for the whole Land Rover / Jaguar range. So it'll cover whatever you have.
I am one of quite a few on here who recommend it.

So we were right and the so called professional was wrong.
Well, it happens!
Bet you got a lovely warm feeling when you found it!
Now all you need to do is put it somewhere accessible.

Does it crank over or not and do you get a light flashing on the dash?

Kev12 · Nov 7, 2022
